Mathematical Pi 1 font and Word Equations
I have a Word file with many equations that uses this font which I apparently
don't have. I am using WOrd 2003 and MathType 6. The result is that parts of the displayed equations are wrong as Word seems to try to substitute a different font. The problem seems mostly with = and = symbols. I can fix each of them (using the equation editor or insert symbol etc.) individually but that's not going to work since there are so many. Is there an easier solution? I guess I can look for and get this font that I don't have, would that solve my problem that is if I have the font installed, would the equation editor recognize it correctly? I hope there is an alternative, easier solution. Thanks. |

Mathematical Pi 1 font and Word Equations
Chuck, I'm a bit confused here. You said you're using MathType 6, but
you also say you can fix the equations using Equation Editor. You mean you can fix them individually with MathType, right? If the equations were made with Mathematical Pi 1 font, AND if the missing symbols came from that font, then certainly installing the font would presumably clear up the problem. If you're sure that's the problem, you can get the font from its creator: Adobe. Here's a short version of the URL to the font on their website: http://tinyurl.com/3fov7c If it's not critical that you use that font, it may be possible to just change the style of each of the equations in the document. You can do this with one MathType command. With the document open in Word, choose the MathType menu on Word's toolbar. From this menu, choose the "Format Equations" command. (Make sure you click on "Format Equations" and not "Format Equation Numbers".) Click the Browse button, click on the file "Times+Symbol 12.eqp", then click OK. Click OK again, and after a few seconds, MathType will have re-formatted all your equations. Depending on how the original author inserted the characters in question, this may or may not work for you. -- Bob Mathews Director of Training Design Science, Inc. bobm at dessci.com http://www.dessci.com/free.asp?free=news FREE fully-functional 30-day evaluation of MathType MathType, WebEQ, MathPlayer, MathFlow, Equation Editor On 26-Jun-2008, ChuckAL wrote: I have a Word file with many equations that uses this font which I apparently don't have.
